((The following is meant to be funny and break the fourth wall a little bit, no it's not supposed to make too much sense bear this in mind when reading.))

Chapter 1: Realization

The day started like any other. Jack woke up, went downstairs, and got the paper. The newspaper headline read, "LaffTrack Saves Paragon City!" He smiled. He had made quite a name for himself in two years time, and without superpowers even. Then all of a sudden, the scenery changes. The sky is dark, there are bodies littering the streets and amidst it all stood LaffTrack, cackling maniacally. It was LaffTrack, and yet, it wasn't. He had a cybernetic arm and his legs had been replaced with mechanical feet. The scenery changed again. This time he is in a high tech building. He sees Mecha-LaffTrack charge a group of soldiers and he is shot down.

Jack awoke with a start. Panting and sweating he checked himself to make sure it was just a dream. There are no bullet holes, no mechanical arm, and his feet are fine. "What did it mean?" Jack thought to himself. He resolved to talk to someone about it as soon as possible; After Breakfast of course. After breakfast Jack got suited up and went off to see his friend Penelope Yin, a powerful psychic. If anyone knew what it meant, it would be her.

Faultline, October 9, 2008; 12:00

Jack raced to Yin's Market. He noticed they were having a sale on orange chicken. He liked orange chicken But there was no time for that now. He found Penelope outside and she saw him.

"Hey there Laff, you here to buy some orange chicken?" she asked.

"Nah, I had wanted to talk to you about something."

"Whatcha' need?" she asked.

"Well you see, Laff had a really disturbing dream, and I thought you could help explain it." Laff said.

"Well, I'm a psychic, not Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, but I'll do my best."

"That's all Laff asks."

Laff then felt Penelope's mind touch his. He allowed the memories of his dream to flow in his mind for her to see. After what seemed like an hour Penelope retreated from his mind.

"Well?" He asked, eager to know what she had found.

"I'm afraid to say, that wasn't an ordinary nightmare you had. It was the future..." Her voice trailed of.

"WHAT??? But, that's not possible, I fight the good fight, Laff would never do anything like that!"

"All I can say is that maybe the Mender's of Ouroboros know more about it. I would try there for more information. The future isn't set in stone. Let's just hope we can change this before it's too late." Penelope said.

Chapter 2: Determination

Ouroboros, October 9, 2008; 12:21

LaffTrack knew he had to find a way to change this before it was too late. He approached Mender Silos, eager to find a way to save the world he knew and loved.

"I have been expecting you LaffTrack. I have the answer you seek." Silos said.

"But, how did you know Laff was coming?" LaffTrack asked, puzzled.

"I have seen the future. You wish to know if there is any way to stop your future from happening. The answer is yes."

"How?"

"Altering the time line is no easy task LaffTrack, as I'm sure you understand, but to do this you must stop whatever event caused the problem from happening." Silos explained.

"But I don't even know what that is." LaffTrack said dejected.

"Ah, there I can help you."

LaffTrack was led to one of the Ouroboros Crystals and was instructed to look inside. When he did he saw the missing parts of his dream.

LaffTrack saw two men fighting with mystical powers. Somehow he knew they were the Norse God Loki and the Greek God Hermes. Suddenly, Loki overpowered Hermes. Then, with a triumphant laugh, Loki cast a spell. The scene changed. LaffTrack saw himself fighting against a group of Carnies when all of a sudden, he started to glow. What happened next LaffTrack couldn't tell. LaffTrack's next hit was so powerful, the Carnie slumped to the ground without a fight. When LaffTrack resumed looking he saw the carnies on the ground, a bloody mess. Fortunately for him, the scene changed again. Unfortunately for him, he saw his empowered self hit with a missile in this scene. He cringed. The next few scenes he saw were of him being operated on. They amputated his arm, and both of his legs.

All of a sudden, the crystal returned to it's normal state. LaffTrack just stood there. He was shocked.

"So, because of all that, the world was thrown into destruction?" LaffTrack asked quietly.

"Yes." Silos answered.

"What do I have to do to prevent that from happening?"

"You must stop the God's from waging their war. The issue started with you gaining power, we must stop that from happening." Mender Silos told him, "I have set up this crystal to the time and place the war began, I only hope you can stop it from happening."

With a nod, LaffTrack allowed the crystal to send him through time.

"Please solve this problem LaffTrack." Mender Silos whispered to himself.

Little did they know, but Loki was watching, and he didn't like the prospect of being defied by a mortal, even if the mortal was in his good graces.

Chapter 3: Intervention

Loki's Chamber, October 9, 2008; 12:40

Loki was angry. How could a puny mortal defy his intentions? So what if one of the consequences was the end of the world? This was all just a game to him, he thought they should lighten up. That was what he liked about LaffTrack, he thought that he was his kind of guy. It looked like he was wrong. Just then he heard something. He turned to see LaffTrack appearing in a flash of light. He looked around.

"Hey, you got a pretty sweet place here!" LaffTrack exclaimed.

"Stuff it, how did you get in here!?"

"It was that Ouroboros thingy, but relax, Laff doesn't want to hurt you, I just want to talk."

"I know why you're here, how dare you defy the intentions of a God!!"

"Um.... Well you see, I don't want to be responsible for the end of the world, leave that to one of those big bad villains, or a comet, or dinosaurs with laserbeams!"

"Hmmm, I see.... Well, I'll have to take this into consideration, but I suppose I could give you the power to summon dinosaurs with laserbeams if you want."

"That would be awesome!!! But, you're missing the point, Laff doesn't want any powers, I just want to be me."

"I have a proposition for you, I propose a duel, winner decides what happens."

"Sounds like a deal."

LaffTrack on the God's Battle Ground

And with a snap of his fingers, Loki transported them to a giant battle ground. LaffTrack watched the big red numbers count down.

"This is so cool, I've never PvPed with a God before! Come on 10...9...8...Hurry up!"

"Hey, you aren't supposed to see those numbers, now is not the time to be breaking the 4th wall!!"

"Right sorry, please continue."

As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted by the 4th wall-breaking clown, the two duelists prepared for their fight, one by casting protecting magic upon himself and the other by watching the big red numbers. All of a sudden, they heard the bang of a gong and knew it was time to start. LaffTrack started running around trying to find Loki when he saw a door. Curiously, he walked up to it and heard a knock.

Knock, knock

"Who's there?" LaffTrack asked

"Boo" was the reply.

"Boo who?" Asked LaffTrack.

"Don't cry, you haven't been hurt yet."

All of a sudden the door flew open and smashed LaffTrack in the face. Out from behind the door stepped Loki, laughing at LaffTrack. LaffTrack sat up clutching his face and holding a pie-bomb. He threw the pie-bomb at Loki and watched the fireworks. However, when the smoke cleared, Loki was nowhere to be seen.

"What the..."

"Psst, over here clown-boy."

LaffTrack whirled around to meet a punch the the face. It hurt. A lot. The punch was followed up with a kick to the chest. Loki then pulled out a pie-bomb just like LaffTrack's and threw it at him. The resulting explosion blew him back. He hit is head on a rock. Before he blacked out he saw Loki standing over him.

"I win." he said and LaffTrack blacked out.

LaffTrack's Apartment, October 10, 2008; 1:36

LaffTrack woke up in his bed and sat up.

Maybe it was all just a dream. He thought.

Then he heard a scream. Jumping up he ran to the window and looked for the source of the commotion. What he saw surprised him. Dinosaurs were loose in Paragon City...and they had Laserbeams!!!

"Crap" Said LaffTrack.

Chapter 4: Destruction

The Dinosaurs were destroying the city and LaffTrack had no idea how to stop them.

LaffTrack is scared of dinosaurs!

"Um, sit dino, stay, bad dinosaur!" Yelled LaffTrack helplessly.

"They aren't dogs." said a familiar voice.

LaffTrack whirled around, "Loki! Why are you doing this?"

"Because it's funny, and because it's part of the deal."

"Dinosaurs with laserbeams may be awesome, but they are most definitely not funny. Jokes are funny. Clowns are funny. This isn't."

"You need a new sense of humor then. Have fun." Loki said and he was gone.

"Well now what am I supposed to do?" LaffTrack asked himself.

All of a sudden one of the buildings next to him shook and he saw a young hero doing battle with a T-Rex.

"You need any help over there?" Shouted LaffTrack.

"I don't think you could help right now sir, just run."

LaffTrack ran to his closet, got suited up, and ran out to help the hero. He started off by hitting the dinosaur with a laugh blast then followed up with a burst of high-powered silly string. The tyrannosaurus wasn't fazed and it turned on LaffTrack. Hitting him with a laserblast, the dinosaur lumbered off as if nothing had happened.

"Ugh, what hit Laff? Oh yeah, a dino-blast."

Getting up, Laff tried to think of a solution.

"Ok Laff can either go back in time and stop dinosaurs from ever existing, or I could go back in time and win that battle with Loki, OR I could hope everything works itself out. Laff likes that idea, no wait, that's not what a hero would do. Let's see here..."

Suddenly, Laff had a great idea,

"BRAINBLAST!"

He was going to go back in time and appeal to Hermes rather than Loki. He had to do it fast though, Paragon City was in ruins and it was quickly getting worse. He ran as fast as he could to find a portal to Ouroboros. Finally, he found one in Wentworths Auction House next to a group of unsuspecting heroes.

"Hey heroes, quit buying things and go help with the Dinosaurs!" LaffTrack yelled.

"Stupid noob, I'm busy IOing out my build!" yelled one hero.

"You wanna fight? I got purples you newb!" yelled another hero.

"Whatever." LaffTrack said as he jumped into the portal.

Ouroboros, October 10, 2008; 2:00

Lafftarck met Silos at the entrance to the portal.

"Come LaffTrack, I have already set up the crystal to take you to Hermes."

"Do you really think this will work?" asked LaffTrack.

"It had better." was Silos' reply.

They stopped in front of an Ouroboros Crystal. With a salute to Silos, LaffTrack placed his hand on the crystal and was sent into the timestream.

Chapter 5: Redemption

Hermes' Crib, October 9, 2008; 12:40

LaffTrack was, again, marveled by the beauty of the God's chamber.

"Man, Laff has gotta get these guys on an episode of Cribz!"

"What are you doing here mortal?" Hermes said.

"I'm here to plead for your help in stopping Loki from giving me any power."

"Ah, so you want my power eh? Very well, I will help you."

"No, Laff doesn't want any powers, I just want to be me." said LaffTrack, frustrated. Why did everyone want him to have powers?

"You would deny the powers of a God?" Hermes asked.

"DUH! Isn't that what Laff is doing right now?" LaffTrack said.

"True enough, I still accept your offer, Loki is a trickster and a menace and must be stopped."

"Oh boy! Let's go, this can't wait." LaffTrack said excitedly.

"Agreed, let us stop this menace from ending the world."

Hermes led LaffTrack down a corridor and into a room much like the ones at Portal Corp. From there, he walked over to a computer and set the coordinates of their destination.

LaffTrack getting ready to face Loki.

"Are you ready to do this LaffTrack?" Hermes asked.

"Ready!" LaffTrack said and gave him the thumbs up.

The two entered the portal and were sent to Loki's area thingy.

Loki's Chamber, October 9, 2008; 12:52

Loki was waiting for them.

"Ah, I have been waiting for y--" Loki said but LaffTrack cut him off.

"Stuff it, Laff already heard the narrator say that."

"Ahem, well okay then, this should be easy." Loki snapped his fingers like before and the three of them were sent to the Battle Ground.

As before, the countdown...counted down, and at the end they heard the bang of a gong.

The two heroes began searching for Loki and they came upon a door.

"Don't open it, It's a trap." warned LaffTrack.

Nodding, Hermes moved on. They continued their search and finally found him. He was standing there tapping his foot impatiently.

"Jeez, I was wondering when you guys would find me it's been what? 5 minutes??"

"Someone's impatient." said LaffTrack

Hermes ran over and punched Loki in the face.

"Wow, someone is even MORE impatient," LaffTrack said, "What was that? not even a cool one-liner?"

"There wasn't time, we needed to win the battle quick with no witty banter." Hermes replied.

"Fair enough."

They both looked at Loki, he was definitely out cold alright.

"Now what?" LaffTrack asked.

"Now we go bang the gong signaling our victory in the battle."

"LAST ONE THERE IS A ROTTEN EGG!!" LaffTrack said and started sprinting towards the gong.

LaffTrack reached the gong panting and when he looked up, Hermes was leaning up against the pole.

"You are a little slow." Hermes said with a smile.

Picking up the mallet, Hermes swung at the gong and created a resounding crash. They had won the battle. They were transported pack to Loki's Chamber. Heaving Loki's body onto his bed they walked back through a portal Hermes had created and ended up in Hermes' Palace.

"Well, I guess that's that, thanks for the help Mr. Hermes."

"It is I who should be thanking you, I have been wanting to do that for a very long time, thank you." Hermes said.

"Okay, well Laff will let you know if Laff has any other enemies Laff needs to punch in the face." LaffTrack said.

LaffTrack summoned an Ouroboros portal and stepped through, sending him back to Ouroboros.

Chapter 6: Rejuvenation

Ouroboros, October 10, 2008; 2:00

LaffTrack beamed into Ouroboros. He felt proud of what he had done, even if it was all Hermes and not him. He hurried up to Silos to see if the future had changed.

"Well?" LaffTrack asked eagerly.

"I have not seen it yet, let us have a look."

They walked up to one of the crystals and Silos started speaking some weird language. When he was done he invited Laff to look into the crystal. What he saw surprised him.

LaffTrack saw a ruined Paragon City. The streets were littered with the bodies of civilians and supers on both sides of the law. The buildings were destroyed, the sky was dark, and the warwalls were down. Dinosaurs lumbered through the streets as if totally unaware of the destruction around them. Standing on top of the City Hall, was a lone figure. Laff focused on the figure until he could see it clearly. It was him! His future self stood there cackling maniacally amidst all of the destruction.

LaffTrack couldn't watch anymore. He backed out of the crystal and just stood there stunned.

"Hmmm, this is not good." Silos mused.

"Not good? NOT GOOD?! This is terrible! I went through all that and I'm still gonna be the one responsible for the end of the world!" LaffTrack fumed.

"Oh, it can be fixed, it will just take some time and hard work."

"What is it? Tell Laff, Laff will do anything." Laff pleaded.

"Well, I will have to see what is causing this first, it should not be t0o big of a problem, maybe just a time flux, and then we will decide on our course of action."

With that, Silos walked over to another crystal, spoke a few words and then disappeared.

the time stream.

Time Stream, N/A

Silos entered the time stream. What would look like a jumbled mess of lights and pictures to the average person, was actually a cleverly detailed map of time to Silos. The different lights and pictures corresponded to different events and moments in time and the farther forward or backward you went, the father forward or backward you traveled in time. It was actually quite simple to enter the time periods. All you had to do was float right through them, like you would walk through an open door. All Silos had to do was find the point in time that the flux occurred and repair it. He traveled back a day to when LaffTrack fought Loki and found the problem. Two of the periods of time were "overlapping" so that while Laff fixed the problem in one point in time, the problem still existed in the next point. All Silos had to do was move the periods of time away from each other so that the problem only existed in one time and not the other, the one that they were in. After that he returned to his own time where LaffTrack was waiting with anticipation.

Ouroboros, October 10, 2008; 2:20

"Is it fixed?" LaffTrack asked.

"I believe it is yes." Silos answered, "There is just one thing left to do. While I fixed the time stream so that you no longer destroy the world, the dinosaurs that exist now, still exist, all we have to do is eradicate the dinosaurs in this time period, and everything will revert back to normal."

"Oh, well, I guess that won't be to hard, any tips or help you can offer?"

"Yeah, watch out for the lasers."

"Gee, thanks, that's a big help." LaffTrack said sarcastically.

Chapter 7:Reconstruction

Paragon City, October 10, 2008; 2:25

LaffTrack knew what he had to do, just not how to do it. How was he going to destroy all these dinosaurs? Luckily, he had help. All of the heroes of Paragon City were now engaged in battle with the dinosaurs (Now that they had their IOs and Purples). Seeing all of the dinosaurs being beat on on by every single hero in Paragon was quite a funny sight to LaffTrack, so funny in fact, that he keeled over laughing. He was laughing so hard that he was almost fried by one of the laserbeams.

"Hey clown, watch where you are laughing, you almost ended up a pile of clown ashes!" yelled the hero that saved him.

Silos' words came back to him, "Watch out for the lasers."

"Oh wow, I guess it was a big help after all." Laff thought with a chuckle.

LaffTrack under the Dinosaur.

Now ready to begin his battle with the dinosaurs, LaffTrack lept on to one of their backs, placed a pie bomb on its head, then lept on to the next dinosaur before it exploded. He continued doing this watching the dinos fall like dominoes and have the rest of the heroes finish them off. Once he was out of bombs, he resorted to using his sonic laughter blaster and blasting the sound-waves into the dinosaurs ears. This proved almost equally effective as the pie bombs as it disoriented the dinosaurs enough for the heroes to finish them off. When he was down to the last dinosaur he was utterly exhausted. He wearily grabbed ahold of the T-Rex's tail and began to climb. When he reached the dino's head and attempted to blast it's eardrums into oblivion, the SLB wouldn't work! Try as he might the sound just wouldn't come out.

"Oh my halibut! Why isn't this working???" LaffTrack screamed.

This alerted the dinosaur to his presence on top of his head. It began to shake it's head in an attempt to throw Laff off. Laff held strong and eventually the dinosaur got dizzy (yeah, Laff didn't know that could happen either). It toppled over and before Laff could escape, the dinosaur fell on top of him. Unfortunately for LaffTrack, the heroes had seen the last dinosaur fall and returned to what they were doing without even noticing Laff. He struggled to get out from under the dinosaur but to no avail. He just couldn't break free. Finally, after feeling like his lungs were about to burst from pressure, a young hero come across LaffTrack and the dinosaur. Eager to prove himself, the hero grabbed the dinosaur by the tail and flung it away.

"Are you all right mister?" asked the hero.

"Yes, yes Laff is alright thanks for the help back there."

Not acknowledging that Laff spoke in third person the young hero said, "You should be more careful around here mister, you know, with all these dinosaurs running around, it can't hurt to be careful."

"Laff thinks that that was the last of them, but thanks for the advice kid."

"Anytime Mister Clown." With that, the hero flew off to defend the city.

"Well, I guess that wraps up the mystery of the Laff Apocalypse, but Laff still has one question. If the mystery is solved, then where are those meddling kids???" LaffTrack asked.

He shrugged, "Oh well."

"LAFFY DAFFY DOOOO!!" Laff yelled and burst into laughter.
